Treatment With a New Nail or a Sliding Hip Screw, Trochanteric and Subtrochanteric Hip Fractures

This is a study to compare the new nail INTERTAN with a Sliding Hip Screw in treating a specific group of hipfractures (trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures). Are there differences in terms of pain, early and late functional mobility and complications between the to implants (and methods of operation)?
